VIRGINIA CRY, March 17th.-The trial of

charges of embezzlement. was called in the
District Court yesterday. The District At
torney, on the part of the State, is assisted
in the prosecution by Judge r. S. Mesick
and Colonel NJ. n. Stone, the latter appear
ing as counsel for the creditors of the insol-
vent firm. Messrs. W. E. f. Deal and r.
H. Lindsay appear for the defense. The
first charge on the schedule of indictments
selected upon which to try defendants was
that in which they are accused of embez-
zling 400 shares of Exchequer stock depos-
tied with the firm of John Murphy. The
evidence so far corroborated the allegations
contained in the indictment. Sol Frankel
will be on the witness to-day. The general

An Artful Young Lover Outwitted.

wv
There isayoung man livingin Columbia,
a good-lOoking fellow, who has a sweet
heart out in the country a few miles, and
he spends two evenings every week in her
society. A few nights ago he stayed to
the usual hour, and as he passed out the
front door he discovered that it was cloudy
and dark. He did not relish the idea of
walking home alone through the gloomy
night and limited a good deal to get
an invitation to remain, but it was not
forthcoming. But the Young man was
equal to the emergency. Going down
the steps he artfully contrived to slip
and fall gently to the ground. Thereupon
he quickly set up a tremendous ~groaning.
The ruse worked admirably. The girl
screamed, and the men came and carried
the young man tenderly into the house.
Then he was assisted TO undress and de-
posted in the spare room. He had barely
began to chuckle over the success of the
~stratagem when the girls mother put in
an appearance armed with a mustard plas-

proceeded to clap On the young mans
shoulders where he had incautiously loca-
ted the damage to his frame. For two
mortal hours that woman sat by the bed,
and was not satisfied till she beheld a bis
ter an inch deep. The young man is now
reformed.

In the same building with me in prison
was q gallant young officer of the Twelfth
Georgia Infantry, bearing my exact name
and rank. BY some means he had made
the acquaintance through the mail OF a
sympathizing friend in Baltimore, who
made repeated efforts to force him into a
correspondence, AZ much or more for his
comfort and pleasure a. for hers. He
was a modest, bashIul man, and found
it irksome TO write. Very happily for
me he proposed that | should take his place,
as my name and rank were identical with
his. | closed in at once with the idea and
made. myself solid. She inquired if |
needed anything in the way of money, food
or clothing, eX expressing herself hbundantly
able to respond. | thanked her and told
her | needed many things FOR which / was
willing to pay her when | got out of pris-
on, hut for the present | would he more
than obliged if she would send me a pair
Of pants. She was only too glad, and
begged an immediate reply, sending my
measure and such other directions as were
necessary. | did not know anything about
tailOrs' measurements but simply gave her
my waist measure, which was very eifemi-
nate, and the outside seam measure of
pants, from foot to waistband. ! should
have sent inside measure. She responded
by return mail that in all the beautiful city
of Baltimore they could not lind such a pair
OF pants. None SO long nor q waist so slen-
der. Please try again and see if | had not
made an error of about eight inches. No
mistake there, for / had stood up along
side Of a plank and got one of the boys to
measure me with a rule. Back again went
the order for the longest-legged pants ever
constructed in the monumental City. The
goods were bought and the garment cut
and made according to a diagram from
me. In due time they came, aud when l
went down into their abyssmal depths,
surrounded by my e~nvious comrades, the
effect was a sight to behold. The pistol
pocket was well up under the right Shout
der blade, the waistband acted likewise
for ~cravat, ana when my feet struck bot
tom they trailed along like an arctic bed.
The turn-up part buttoned nicely at the
knee, barring little fluftiness at the ankle
in rolling them up and n sutfocating, han-
dage-hke snugness around the chest, they
looked unique, if not nObby.

am not speaking at random in this matter,
but after having visited at least twenty
i've of the popular entertainments of this
kind in various parts Of London. What
was witnessed in the places visited am
assured is repeated nightly in the several
hundred music halls which were not Wis
tied. There are no less than 435 music
balls in the greas city OF London, with a
total seating capacity Of M, GOO. The
seatin" capacity uI the sixty theatres Is not
over -, 600. 80 II will be seen that the
music hall Is the popular form OF amuSe-
ment with the British public. As a mat
ter Of fact, many OF the sO-called theatres
are little better than music halls, the en-
~tertaiuIuentS given p~artakirg more of the
variety show than Of the legitimate drama.
Ii = upt above the mark TO say that the
popular taste OF London demands the
sweets of yartety'S plan for n quarter OF a
million OF adult Billions. l do not claim a
number as vast ~ this attend the music

accommodate an army OF tins size, ana do,
undoubtedly, on high days and holidays.
~lnnuIuerable attempts have been made

furnishing entertainment Of higher order,

schemes Ia elevate the people have failed,
and the massive structures erected tor the

Ia the end served to swell the ~atIng ca

most famous Of all the London music halls,

amusement Like the German, he has no
ear for really good music, and unlike his
nearer neighbor, across the Channel, dane
ing and outdoor amusements have no
charm for him. He prefers to spend his
evening amid clouds of tobacco smoke, the
fumes Of beer and spirits, the coarse talk
OF men and women of the town, the echoes
of rihald and stale jokes aud the reirains
OF ldiotic songs. What there is in this
that attracts people is beyond comprehen-
SION. Some of the songs, l am free 10 adj

A Dogs Yawn.

SAN "sitN @'NA~ SHNHfs
Did you ever watch a dog yawn? For
thoroughness and entire absence Of affec-
tation and Observation-Disclosures there il
nothing like it. When a dog yawns he
doesn't screw his face into all sorts Of I'M
natural shapes in an endeavor to keep his
mouth shut with hisjaws wide open. Mel
ther does he put his paws up to his face
in an apologize way, while gaping in
anguish, as it were. No; when he gapes
he is willing all the world shall come
to the show. He braces himself firmly on
his four feet, stretches out his neck with n
graceful moderation. At first sight it is
but an exaggerated grin, but when the cape
is apparently accomplished the dog turns
out his elbows, opens his jaws another As
degrees, swallows an imaginary bone by a
sudden and convulsive movement, curls
up his tongue like the petals of a tiger lily,
and shuts his Jaw with a snap. Then he
assumes a grave and contented visage, as Is
eminently becoming TO one who has per-
formed a duty successfully and conscienti-
ously.

Yet this class of amusement seems to
pay, and healthy entertainments for the
masses go into bankruptcy every time.
The ~Pan-Opticon and the Aquarium are
not the only illustrations. There was tine
Royal Alexandra Palace, which was to at
ford a Palace of Delight for North London,
just as the Crystal Palace had done for
Southwest London. The circumstances
attending the opening Of this vast Palace
were most unfortunate. At the close OF
the fourteeatb day it was burned to the
ground. Not discouraged, the directors
rebuilt il. The present structure covers
about seven acres. The grand hall will
hold about twelve thousand people, and
an orchestra OF two hundred. The theatre
is OF the most perfect kind, and will seat
three thousand people, In short, every
\ thing that money and nature can do has
been lone to make the Alexandra Palace a
delightful place of resort, and yet it is q
dismal failure. l took a party of Ameri-
can friends there the other night. 1t was
like a deserted village. The few people
floating around this vaStneSs of glass, iron
and decorative work did not pay for the
gas bill. A Palace where II, 900 could
easily be entertained did not contain three
hundred. The wretched London comic
song man was there, drawling out some
thing like this, though | will not vouch
for the accuracy of the words:
Il came ON the earth with a deuce Of q dash,
And I've never done anything since;
Except that I've managed To raise a II OuStISt

Though | never look quite ROBUST.
I'm forbidden To work,

And I've never done anything since"
The first lines of this sony might apply
TO the Alexandra Palace. 1t came upon
| the earth with q deuce of a dash, " and
has certainly "never done anything since. y
This magnificent Palace has sunk to the
proportion of an ordinary variety perform
ance, with all sorts of catch-penny side
shows. But even as a music hall it is a
failure, because OF the distance from Lon
